Manual Data Entry
**The Barcode Fusion Method is always preferred and should be used whenever possible
.
Manual Mode
should only be used when the barcode is malfunctioning or unavailable
.
FOR EXPERT OPERATORS
ONLY.
Manual Data Entry Fusions require additional care and attentiveness on the part of the operator to
ensure that the appropriate fusion parameters are entered. For this reason, Manual Fusions should ONLY be
performed by a fully trained operator using specifications provided by the fitting manufacturer.
NOTE:
The
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
provides outputs for a complete fusion based on parameters
manually entered by the operator. Remember to enter all parameters
EXACTLY
as specified by the fitting
manufacturer.
After selecting Manual Fusion Mode from the Alternate Fusion selection screen (see page 20), the following
screen will be displayed:
ENTER FUSION VOLTAGE
40.0 Volts
Enter the voltage by using the
UP button
and
DOWN button
to increment and decrement the value. As either
button is held, the numbers will continue to scroll, slowly at first and then faster as time passes. When the
desired voltage is displayed, press the
START button
. The following screen will be displayed and you will be
able to enter the fusion time:
ENTER FUSION TIME
0 sec
Temperature: +75°F
Enter the total number of
SECONDS
to fuse using the
UP button
and
DOWN button
to increment and
decrement the current value by one (1) second. As either button is held, the numbers will continue to scroll,
slowly at first and then faster as time passes. When the desired number of seconds are displayed, press the
START button
.
Once the data has been successfully entered, the
Roughneck Electrofusion Processor
will display a screen
similar to the following:
VERIFY SETUP
Manual Fusion Data
40.0V 60 sec
PRESS START
The VERIFY SETUP screen allows the operator a final opportunity to verify that the fusion parameters
displayed are correct and match the parameters specified by the fitting manufacturer before starting the
fusion.
ALWAYS pay close attention and verify the information on this screen is correct before pressing
START.
